RIOT · Riot Platforms Inc.
The AI's read
Riot beat Q2 revenue ($174.2M vs ~$152.1M) and announced a 20-year, 191 MW data-center lease with a leading AI company. The agreement lists $9.1B initial contract revenue and $7.3B–$8.2B estimated cumulative NOI. The stock isn’t wildly stretched, RSI 60.5, and the market has only moved -0.73% since the announcement, suggesting limited immediate price discovery. We lean bullish because the contract scale far exceeds Riot’s market cap and creates multi-year cash-flow optionality. Conviction 84, but expect volatility given Riot’s high beta and execution risk.
